Even mannerisms may be a bias we should try to fight.

  Point is, it's not fair to assume that _any_ bias was being shown. I don't think anyone believes that "PR person" or "paid actor" is a bad profession. You're assuming the parent was biased against something, and I'm suggesting that the parent discovered some mannerisms were not as indicative of a specific profession as they thought, and said so.

    It's not an assumption, it's in the parent comment itself: > The other hosts are great, but if you told me they were hired actors or PR people I'd believe it.

      assumption of _bias_.

        What other purpose does it serve than to emphasize what the parent thinks a "real" engineer behaves like?
